I grew up thinking french toast was a savory dish until I ordered it at a diner and it was sweet. I still like my mom’s version of french toast better tbh.

People Explain That They Or Someone They Knew Have Been Eating These 30 Foods Wrong For The Longest Time [A man once sued a restaurant in Miami for serving him an artichoke which he promptly ate all of.] I don't mean like "he finished the artichoke" - I mean that this guy, who apparently is a *Doctor*, just ate the entire f*****g thing, including all of the inedible parts.

For those of you who have never encountered an Artichoke, the edible part of the plant is a fleshy substance that is on the inside parts of the leaves. You scrape it off and eat that part and discard the leaves. The artichoke heart, at the middle of all of the leaves, is also edible (and delicious). The stem and the fibrous leaves are not edible. Well I guess except to this guy.

Jill Hojnacki 2 years ago (edited)

Not if you’re just preparing one for yourself. Peel & cross-pierce the stem, wash under the tap, pulling leaves open to get the water into the center. Shake upside down. Put it in a large microwave safe bowl with a splash of water & lemon juice. Cover. (Vent if using plastic wrap) Microwave for 7-8 min (for a large globe). Or, cook it as you normally would. When a leaf pulls out easily it’s done. Remove from bowl with tongs (it’s hot!) Consume down to the choke and then remove it using a sharp knife or, better yet, a grapefruit spoon. Eat the heart and stem. Done. Prep time ~3 min. Cook time 7-8 min. Pre-trimming & choke removal before cooking makes them less messy to eat because you don’t have to handle it to remove the choke at table and there isn’t as much leaf left, so the scrap pile is smaller. But, if I’m enjoying one at home by myself I don’t bother.

I dont get it, if it was bad why didn't he stop eating it? Why finish the whole thing? Ive never had it, but usually when some part is inedible it actually means "doesn't taste good". If it was actively hurting him he could just stop, hes not really a poor guy if hes doing it to himself and can stop at any time. Unless its something like the leaves are fine going in but not coming out? They probably dont digest well, but again, thats not really a huge deal, corn doesent either, or tomato skins.

I am really surprised that no one has mentioned this yet. But in France, we DO eat the leaves as well as the heart... You simply boil the flower, prepare a vinaigrette sauce and dip the leaves in the sauce and sort of suck the meaty part of the leaves. I know it is also eaten like this in Turkey.

Beg to disagree regarding the stem. Trim the bottom, peel the outermost layer, and pierce a cross lengthwise through the center of the stem before cooking and the stems are every bit as delicious as the heart. The only inedible parts are the fibrous part of the leaves, the sharp pointy ends on the tender inner leaves, and the “hairy” choke that sits in the middle on top of the heart.

Edit: since a lot of the comments are confused, I'd like to clear a few things up.
My parents would cut out where the seeds are and eat the green part + the white parts where there are no seeds. not sure if that's fully the rind; I guess the easiest way to compare it is with a watermelon: it's like cutting away the red flesh and eating the skin + white part. no, my parents don't hate me (maybe for other reasons) because I've seen them throw away the seeds. we are Vietnamese and my parents prefer the dry, crunchy texture with some chili salt and think the seeds cause constipation.

I've been told that we Americans put catsup on everything, but the only thing I've ever used it for is to make sauces.

I mix mine up. I always put all of the different little bowls in there, too (rather than adjusting to taste)--I don't know what the "right way" is, but that's my way.

Your pork chops and Turkey are overcooked and not properly rested. That's why they're disgusting and dry.

Look up dry and wet brining.

Look up newer cooking temps. Cooking your turkey to 165 means it holds over to 170. And then you slice it immediately. And ALL the juices run out.

Cook pork chops to medium and let them rest.

LET ALL YOUR COOKED MEAT REST GODDAMNIT.

Edit:many comments on sous vide and not needing to rest. I dont have one so I cant comment. But apparently it's not needed. But most people dont have a sous vide.

Edit 2:
Some good debate on resting or not. While I respect the Meathead Goldwyn articles posted ( I use amazing ribs a lot) . I have a hard time accepting one mans opinion as fact, as so many others say otherwise. And maybe he is right as far as losing juices. But his method does not allow for making pan sauces or someone else wanting to eat something other than that steak first. Resting allows you to accomplish a few other tasks first. Some of which cant be completed until your steaks are out of the pan. Making his method give you a medium well or well done steak. If you want to pull your steak out of the heat and eat it right that second then go ahead. But that's the only way that will work.

But hamburger buns have thin bottoms and thicker tops, turning the whole thing upside down ensures the bun integrity doesn't breakdown mid-meal. Especially if you have sauce and other toppings which can affect the structure of the bread.

Having started as a content creator that made articles for Bored Panda from scratch I climbed my way up to being and editor and then had team lead responsibilities added as well. So it was a pretty natural transition from writing articles and titles as well as preparing the visual part for the articles to making sure others are doing those same tasks as I did before well, answering their questions and guiding them when needed. Eventually I realized editing gives me the most enjoyment and I'm focusing only on that right now.

I mix the ginger, the soy sauce and the wassbi all together and just dip the roll in - I don't care if someone thinks that is wrong, I like it that way. Just enjoy what you eat!

I'm sharing this one for my dad because he doesn't have boredpanda: when he was a kid, he regularly ate those maruchan noodles that came in a little bag. expect he didn't cook them, he sprinkled the powder you put in the broth on the top and ate them dry.

Applesauce. I grew up in the south (USA) and my mama would peel and cut apples and cook them down to mush and flavor with sugar, vanilla, molasses etc. Then she would serve it hot. It was a side dish that could also be dessert if so desired. I was in college when someone offered me applesauce - it was cold and flavorless. I was disgusted, but apparently eating bland cold 'sauce' from apples is a thing.

I like applesauce both warm or cold, I don’t peel the apples when I make it though they just get a good scrub then chopped up, and the only flavouring it needs imo is cinnamon!

Upvote for grandpa, following a time-honored tradition. Well, kind of. You want to dip in the milk and leave in until it soaks up some of the milk but can still be lifted out (by the dry end) and bitten. Repeat until all gone.
